Is Parasolids a shape engine? Or something more as well?

Apart from snappier graphics, does it really do anything to bolster VW's claim to being a BIM application.</T></DIV> Thu, 18 Sep 2008 20:27:23 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Collaboration-with-other/Restored-Vectorworks-2009/m-p/167875#M19299 Aaron Bourgoin 2008-09-18T20:27:23Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Collaboration-with-other/Restored-Vectorworks-2009/m-p/167876#M19300 Another question: Can the Parasolids engine produce reusable, parametric, 3D objects by itself?<BR /> <BR /> How would a GDL-based wall and the Tool used to create it differ from the VW Parasolids-based Wall tool.<BR /> <BR /> My admittedly naive view is that PS is a powerful modeling platform, but that the intelligence behind a M-CAD modeling platform using it as an engine relies on other programming do the lifting.
